H. G. WIDMER MACHINE FOR MAKING GRINKLED PAPER Filed Jan. 9, 1919 thespace between the presser piece land, the doctor. The lower ends of thelevers 13 and 14 are bent as shown in Fig. l to bring the upper ends ofthese levers to an angle of about 45 to the horizontal and their upperends are provided with adjustable weights and 26. lt will thus be seenthat the presser piece bears with a yielding pressure against the paperand this pressure may be varied by shifting the weights 25 and 26 up ordown on their levers. rlFhe means for thus mounting the presser piecemay, of course, be varied without departing from the scope i of theinvention and the form and the arall rangement of the likewise varied.

What l claim is: Y

l. ln a machine for making crinkled paper, a supporting surface for thepaper and crinkle-forming means acting to strip the paper from saidsurface and crinkle it, in'combination with a presser piece for applyingpressure to thepaper immediately in advance or said crinkle-formingmeans to limit the stripping action thereof.

2. in a machine for making crinkled paper, a supporting surface for thepaper and crinkleforming means acting to strip the paper from saidsurface and crinkle it, in combination with a presser piece for applyingpressure to the paper immediately in advance of said crinkle-formingmeans to limit the stripping action thereof, and means :tor varying thedistance between said crinkie-forming means and presser piece.
